I seem to recall in the past that Do Not Disturb gave you more options, whereas now there is less functionality. Specifically, I used to be able to make decisions about phone calls, texts and emails separately. Now, calls and messages are grouped together. If I wanted to let phone calls from certain people reach me during the night I could, but their texts would be silenced. Now, if I set it that calls can come through from someone, then automatically their texts can come through too! Why would you take away that choice and assume that people want them grouped together? If someone has an emergency overnight then chances are they will call, and I want that to come through. But if that same person just texts me about something while I'm asleep, why would I want to hear that notification? Why take away the ability for me to customize Do Not Disturb as I would like?

I want them to be able to ring through. I just don't want them to be able to text me.

You can do that! 🙂 set the Calls to "Favorite contacts only" and Set Messages to "None."

See the screenshot in my previous comment. Those sections are highlighted.

Yes I did that, and removed everyone I had put in that "Allow only selected contacts" box as you suggested. I guess only time will tell! Thanks for your help, I did indicate it was the solution.

It should work! Make sure your phone or contacts app is where you have people indicated as favorites, not the DND section.

If it still isn't working, visit the support tab in this app, navigate to "send feedback" and let Samsung know.

Have a great day! Don't hesitate to reach out with any other issues.
